Absolutely! Don't think that we want to remove support for bookmark icons or page icons - they are great! What we are against is that Mozilla automatically requests the file "favicon.ico" from the server whenever you visit a new site. There is way (<link rel="icon"/>) to specify icons for pages, and Mozilla supports that as well, and that should NOT be removed. Just thought I'd clarify :-) Oh, and by the way: The "--" in your signature should be "-- " (not the trailing space). That way many newsreaders (such as Mozilla) will automatically remove it when doing replies. -- /Jonas
